TPW is proposing the construction and operation of a four-lane, controlled access highway (Highway 113). The purpose of the proposed highway is to provide a more efficient means of travel for motorists between Highway 103 and Highway 102, that bypasses the Halifax urban core and relieves congestion on the Hammonds Plains Road. This highway would be 9.9 km in length.

Opportunities for Public Input
